History of Ynysymaengwyn Site

Ynysymaengwyn pronounced 'inisminegwin' was once owned by the local noble Corbet family, and later by John Corbett (no relation), the Droitwich salt magnate.

The estate covers a large area with many remains of the old buildings in and around the beautiful woodlands.

Many years ago the sparkling jewel in the crown of Bro Dysynni in South Merioneth was the Ynysymaengwyn Estate with it's stately home nestling in 40 acres of perfectly manicured lawns, beautiful gardens and majestic woodlands.

It is a great tragedy that the majestic building is no longer here. However, much evidence of it's presence still exists.
